Surgery x-rays

    Here's a look at the x-rays taken during the surgery. They show the osteotomy (the break in the femur; it's just above her left knee). It looks like they inserted the Precice devise from the knee instead of the top of the femur. 

This is a side view of her knee. You can see the break in the femur. 
This is the rod inside her femur, which she has fondly named, Kimble. 
So meet Rod Kimble. You can also see the small rectangle in the rod, 
this is the magnet in the rod. That and the external magnet will be used to lengthen her femur.
The real Rod Kimble, from the 2007 movie Hot Rod. 
Here's a top look at her femur. 
It shows not only the break but two of the screws used to hold the rod in place. 
The top of the rod and the screw thats holding it in place. 
From what I can see it looks like she has four screws in total. 
One on top and three on the bottom.
